BlackRock and the Reconstruction of Ukraine
At the end of December 2022, President Volodymyr Zelensky held talks with BlackRock’s CEO Larry Fink and received confirmation that the global business community supports Ukraine and is ready to invest in its recovery. Even then, the company’s experts were helping to structure the Ukraine Reconstruction Fund, which became an important step in preparing for the large-scale reconstruction of the country.
